Models @ The CFDA Fashion Awards 2012

The fashion world’s top models flocked to the 2012 CFDA Fashion Awards, held at the Alice Tully Hall in New York City on Monday evening.

Elettra Wiedemann: The model puts her best foot forward wearing a gorgeous burgundy Rachel Roy crepe twist drape dress with cut-out details. She accessorized with a Kotur for Rachel Roy multi-graphic tweed clutch, Lulu Frost jewelry and Rachel Roy ‘Farrah’ leather architectural open toe metal tri-colour sandals. I want to own every piece of this look. She is my favourite on this page.

Dree Hemingway: Her Creatures of The Wind black and gray silk abstract jacquard empire-waist dress teamed with a cropped jacket is also one of my faves. I love that she sticks to her laidback style here. We all know she can go glam when needs be. I just love her Tabitha Simmons for Creatures of The Wind silver boots.

Crystal Renn: I would’ve expected a gown from the striking model, but she opted for a Zac Posen cocktail dress. The Fall 2012 Kiko print lame cocktail dress was styled with black strappy sandals, bright green earrings and silver bracelets.

Joan Smalls: Michael Kors’ date for the evening was stunning in a white tank dress with a high-low hem from the designer’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection. Opting to wear the look belt-free, Joan glams up her ensemble with gold accessories. A sleek ponytail and bright-pink lippie complete the look.

Jessica Stam: Perhaps Karlie Kloss was busy, as Jason Wu attended the awards with another top model as his date, rather than his usual red-carpet BFF. Jessica effortlessly filled the part, wearing a blue sleeveless gown with black lace underlay. Love this stunning Jason Wu gown, but am not sold on Jessica’s hair and makeup choices. A space-age ponytail and yellow eyeshadow don’t exactly scream chic. A Roger Vivier ‘Retro Cerniera’ clutch and Roger Vivier ‘Sadale Cage’ sandals accessorize her look.

Doutzen Kroes: The model can seemingly do no wrong when it comes to the red carpet. Doutzen looked beautiful in a sheer black Sophie Theallet silk gown with a choker detail neckline. An upswept hairdo and heavily lined cat-eyes complete the look.

Erin Heatherton: Doing Greek goddess to the max, the Victoria’s Secret model was beautiful in a bright-green Michael Kors Resort 2013 halter gown, which was presented this morning. Matching the dress’ gold neckpiece to gladiator-esque sandals and matching cuffs, Erin looks every bit the part.

Shu Pei: The model wore a Vera Wang saffron silk jacquard sleeveless dress. It’s not often we see this bold colour on the red carpet. I love the dress, but I’m not too crazy about the clunky nude platform heels.

Joan killed them all with a “less is more” look : I love it, it’s clean,sexy and nice.
I also like Liu Wen’s look : the dress is cute and the shoes original.
Doutzen,Erin,Selita,Shu Pei: nice dresses
Candice: ok the dress is cute but with the braid and it’s just too much
Arizona: those boots don’t belong to that red carpet
in opposition to Karolina (so disappointed in her)whose shoes are the best thing in her outfit

Hate the love or hate shoes worn by Dree and not sure what Arizona was thinking in terms of the boots and the Alexa Chung type unbrushed hairsytle she has got going on. Love Jessica’s look from the neck down and very much love Elettra’s dress. Shu’s dress is also awesome. Karolina’s look was a bit of a let down but I do like her shoes. Karen pulls of her outfit really well.

Elettra: over-accessorized. I would really like the dress without the cut-outs.
Dree: The rest of the look is uninteresting, but THOSE SHOES are the worst I have seen all year! It’s as though the Tin-man attacked her feet!
Crystal: Interesting but not to my taste. She’s still too tan, though I’m glad that she’s gone back to black.
Candice: cute, demure. Maybe too cute–she’s working it, though.
Joan: crisp and clean, but too revealing.
Jessica: rather glaring. I don’t like it–didn’t like Diane’s either. Wu can do better!
Karolina: WHAT THE HECK? Horrible.
Doutzen: sloppy, matronly, kind of tacky and dated. The dress, that is. SHE look gorgeous, but doesn’t she always?
Erin: the teal color is a breath of fresh air. Elegant, summery, classy, statuesque. My second best dressed of this group.
Selita: wow, if that hadn’t been drop-waisted I would quite like it. She makes it un-trashy, even though it’s a bandage dress.
Shu: despite the ugly shoes, that dress is AH-MAZING and she is ROCKING IT! Love the straight hair. Best dressed of this group.
Karen: Great color. Nothing else.
Arizona: Horrific, head to toe. The dress looks like it’s made of eggs.
Liu: Cute dress, but the shoes don’t go.

I adore Shu Pei’s dress but I agree about the shoes, they are nowhere near as refined & elegant as the dress, which is a shame. My favourite on the page is Erin, but I think that Joan looks good, too.
Also, Candace’s dress has been worn by Claire Danes in red, and Kelly Rutherford in this colour, and I think someone else wore it in this colour on a magazine cover (Cameron Diaz, maybe?).

CANDICE is the best for me!! Erin and Doutzen come next. I hate how Crystal once said she wouldn’t change her figure and etc. and then she did something different. But heck, CANDICE looked the best for me!

Crystal Renn is my fav. here. Although her accessories aren’t quite working for me, I like this themed look down to her hairstyle and attitude.
Erin for looking so beautiful in her ‘greek goddess’ look is 2nd.
Elettra could’ve skipped at least on some of her accessories – one of the bracelets/earrings, her look is a bit too loaded with accessories.
